I just went to the grow store and bought some 12-6-6 grow. I was told to wait to use to for a few days and to just water it for now till it bounces back. Getting conflicting directions now lol

No that's fine.. but get them water ASAP. I feel 1/4-1/2 of directions would be fine at this point. They should perk up in literally a few hrs

Honestly the only reason I ask if you have one is to test the soil and source water pretty much once each. After that you amend the soil to have a ph of 6.2-6.7ish and then all you need to do is mix nutes and feed the soil will adjust the ph and as long as the source water is not super hard you should not have any issues

I'm thinking 1 tsp per gallon for now? Maybe even a foliar feeding too

That sounds good.

I personally don't like to foliar but I am an indoor grower. If you do I would not do it in peak sunlight hrs. Someone other than myself may have the ability to make a better recommendation on that and dosage for use.

The water is hard that's why I'm using bottled for now but that's getting old. I have a ph and TDS meter for the water. Didn't think about the dirt being bad

My tap is +/-300ppm. I mix half half RO/tap and it comes to like 150ish. Not sure if you’re able to do that. I’m in so cal.

Cheap way to get a ph test of the soil. Take a sample and mix 2 parts DISTILLED water and 1 part soil. Mix well and let settle. At least 30 min. Pour some of the water off into a container and take it to a pet store. Most do free water tests for aquariums. Just tell em you want your aquarium water tested. They do this to sell you products after but just take the report and only bother looking at the ph. That will tell you your soil ph

Just call a few places to see where they do it free

Literally Just went and got the meters when I posted it before I had nothing. Trying to get whatever I need to be successful. Didn't know I could use the same meter to test the soil. Ordered a separate meter from Amazon for the soil, should I keep the order

Same food I use... on a plant that size I would do a half feed and ramp it up to full over a few feedings. Get calmag and some kind of bio marine on there soon also.

Defo check the pH... I have to add a 200ml of vinegar because it's so alkaline when using Age Old.

Return those meters and get a bluelab pen set.

Got these from a friend, that will have to be a future investment. Spend a lot getting the area together. These will have to work for now, cant beat free.
